Hi SC, I always have at least one chart that has - a single study with a multi-drawing fixed period VbP (e.g. daily) - many (typically >10 per month) individual VbP at specific start and end date-times that could be across multiple days I create these manually at the moment, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to do what I am doing. Am I missing something? This is workable because I just update it each day and most of it stays the same and lives on. The problem comes when I need to change a property/config spec for all the VbP. If I want to e.g. stop highlighting the value area, or change the colour of the POC I have to do this manually for many many studies. Three questions I would be grateful for some info on please: 1. Is there a bulk edit I could use to do this - I don't see a way available but would love to be wrong? 2. Is there a way to separate the fixed config from the location/dynamic config? A lot of this would be solved if placement on the chart or length/duration of the drawing was separate from calculation and graphics options 3. Is there a way of having studies created based on reading in options from a text file or spreadsheet? Does it already exist or could I write a custom ACSIL/spreadsheet study? I create a text file with JSON or CSV having start and end dates for each VbP, choose a Study Collection that's just a VbP with the config I want and have both this and the text file as inputs to a custom study that creates the studies. I have never coded ACSIL but I'm fine with C/C++ Sorry for the long question, but TIA. SC is great so I want to get the best out of it |
